Yes, it’s true, Americans want to be Canadians 😉
As anti-war sentiment rises in other countries, U.S. colleges are warning their students studying abroad to avoid demonstrations, street corner debates on U.S. foreign policy and clothes that identify them as Americans.
But just to be on the safe side, some students are passing themselves off as Canadian.
In interviews over the past week, students and faculty overseas said the anti-American sentiment they’ve encountered has been directed at the Bush administration — not at U.S. citizens.
“We told them, if you’re travelling or if you’re out somewhere for the weekend, tell someone you’re Canadian,” said Stephen Burmeister-May, the director of international education.
It’s a well known fact that nearly everyone loves Canadians, so fearful Americans rightly should emulate Canadians. Be curtious, kind, wear socks with sandals and you will be fine where ever you visit in the world. 😉
